Submission Time has Passed but

Moments after submitting my game for this year I had a great idea for an entirely different take on the ingredients. The first game was fun to write so I'm seriously considering working on a second.
I don't plan to try and write this one in a week though - it was way to stressful. Here's my second idea:
Its a story about a City on the Edge of reality
The laws of physics change beyond the edge. Magic functions and creatures of pure spirit survive.
Creatures of pure spirit cannot pass back from beyond the edge because without a body or magic to sustain them they would die.
Mercenaries and Delvers decend into the Dungeons beyond the edge to kill creatures and take their stuff.
Sometimes what comes back isnt a Delver but is a Fetch, Doppelgängeror Vardøger - creatures of pure spirit that have taken the skin of a delver and now inhabit it.
The players play the role of Inquisitors - men and womens whos job is to psychologically test those who return from beyond the edge to ensure they're not sociopathic creatures of pure chaos.
Those who fail the test are sumarily put to death for the safety of the city inhabitants.
Only the truly desperate go Delving because the Inquisitors seem to feel most who return are probably sociopathic creatures of pure chaos.
In fact with a little work I think this could make a cool con game. I'm not sure about its long term appeal though.

Damn....now that you mentioned that concept, it would have been a great time to refine an old game of mine that I ran at a series of conventions in the mid 1990s....something that I've been holding back on for the last ten years or so, waiting for the right moment.
A city on the edge of reality is exactly the concept of that game.
Oh, well. I guess I can work on it later.
